Hope your doing Ok Tiffany.
Our fence looks OK, thanks Roxy & it doesn't seem as windy as it was last night, it's still raining though.

Re: Storm Winds.

Ours is still standing too, the wind must have been blowing in a direction that didn't hammer it....for once. Glad to hear your's is good too. It's a summer job to get ours properly sorted as there's just too much going on with the Farming side of things at the moment and he just doesn't have the time. He did a tour of all the buildings and fences here and thankfully there's not much damage at all.

Our poor Magnolia has taken a bashing though, petals everywhere. The car looks as if it's going to a wedding.

Edited to say.....
I spoke too soon, the wind is worse & the rain is bucketing down.

Re: Storm Winds.

Stormy here but the wind isn’t too strong at the moment, I think it’s due to reach us at around 3.00pm.

Re: Storm Winds.

I'm sure it's a relief that the atmosphere has calmed down and the central part of the low has moved on.

Sorry to hear that your magnolia took a beating, Tiffany, but I'm sure it will be back. Last year a storm stripped every last blossom and leaf off of mine.

I know your sig. other is used to adding another item to the bottom of the list, Roxy, but it's good news that he won't be tackling concrete and posts when it's freezing outside and you won't have to be the one trying to hold the posts plumb.

It's still taking a beating, because although the rain has stopped, the wind is gale force.

Re: Storm Winds.

It's sounds pretty rough outside here at the mo, and has been since tea time. Hope everything's still where it should be in the morning!

Stay safe everyone.
